When was the last time you were in Broughton Street in Edinburgh?
If you’re not a regular, it’s definitely time for a visit. I was taking a walk up town last night after work to clear my head, something that slouching in front of the TV can not do. My route this time took me down Broughton Street. Aside from smirking at the new signage of the Basement Bar (yup – that reworked version is my handy-work) I dropped into the Concrete Wardrobe – it was still open (11am – 7pm every night). Fiona (one of the partners) was hard at work.
I fished this out of Youtube:
The stock they have is a great mix; here are the Hepburn Harris Tweed Bags by Catherine Aitken and below, knitted silk ties by Tessuti Scotland (Fiona McIntosh). This is the tip of the iceberg amongst furniture, jewellery, cards – it’s an Aladdin’s Cave and all designed and made in Scotland. (Click on an image to view)
